US Basketballer Lebron James Slams President Donald Trumps’s Administration

Lebron James, the basketball superstar who plays for Cleveland cavaliers has called out President Donald Trump on Monday night for escalating racial tensions in the country.

“He’s kinda used sports to kinda divide us,” James told CNN’s Don Lemon. “And that’s something that I can’t relate to because I know that sport was the first time I was around someone white.”

Trump has repeatedly slammed professional athletes, some for refusing to visit the White House as has been customary after championships, and others for kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial injustice.

“Sports has never been something that divides people,” said Lebron James. “It’s always been something that brings someone together.”
Lebron James also said that while racism has always been around, Trump has enabled some of the racists.

“The president in charge now has given people, they don’t care now ― they throw it in your face now,” he said.
